Last Day for Purchase OF Bonds

THE FOURTEEN MILLIONS NEARLY TAKEN.
To-day was the last day allowed by the Septem-
Der circular for the purchase OF bonds Up to IL
O'Clock the aggregate OF the whole purchase was
S13. 323 $50, OF which s22l 200 was purchased to-
day. This leaves about s676, $50 yet to be pur-
chased to make up the amount necessary for the
sinking fund. This will probably be still further
reduced before the Department closes, and the
amount Is SO small that 1t will probably not make
much difference II 1t is not purchased just at pres
ent. The financial condition has greatly improved
on account OF the confidence inspired by the policy
OF the Department., and there is the urgent cry
for help that there was.
Ex-TreaSurer Jordan Is in the city to-day accom-
panied by Mr.. Thomas j. Brennan, Mr.. Manning's
former private secretary. Mr.. Jordan had u long
talk with Mr.. Fairchll but 1t was declared ut the
Department that their conference had nothing to
do with the purchase OF bonds.

Two years passed in travel At the

Accordingly, one day carriage
drew up before the door Of Mr. Rae's
city mansion, From it alighted a
gentleman aud lady, whom loving eyes
recognized as their long absent daught-

bearing a peculiar shaped parcel. -

The usual treatment of catarrh is very
unsatisfactory, as thousands of despair
ing patients can testify. On this point
a trustworthy medical writer says:
Proper local treatment is positive nee
essary to success, but many, if not
most, of the remedies in general use by
physicians afford hut temporary bene-
fit. A cure certainly cannot be ex-
pected from snuffs, powders, douches
and washes" Ely's Cream Balm is a
remedy which combines the important
requisites Of quick action, specific cura-
tive power with perfect safety and
pleasantness to the patient. 2t

''Mr. Hay has some Beauties" said

While they were all soothing the
sleepy little curly head. the door
opened and in walked Daffodil, purr-
ing as if nothing had happened.
No cat ever received a more delight
ed welcome. Ted almost strangled
him in his chubby arms so that he
vowed his objections to such hugs.
':Auntie," said Nell. looking up,
well get kitten for Nat. He'll love

UNEXPECTED COMPANY.
How Wash and Uncle Jake Captured an
Escaped Lion.

How Wash and Uncle Jake Captured an
Escaped Lion.
One warm spring day a small skiff
could have been seen on the Missis-
sippi river. No other boat was in
sight. In the skiff were two negro
men, Wash and Uncle jake. They
were after the driftwood which the
strong current brings down, and
Uncle Jake had a long stout pole with
hook in one end. With this he
could reach out and pull in the sticks
and logs of drift.
They had only found a few small
pieces when they saw something float
ing, away up stream, that looked like
big log Wash saw it first. and said
he thought he ought to have it, be-
cause he 'seed it fust"
But Uncle Jake at once said that he
ought to have it, because the ''skiff"
belonged to him. And so they quar-
relied about it, and while they quar-
relied the log foated nearer and
nearer And what do you think was
on it? Why, real live lion! big
lion with bushy name, and he
stretched out his paws, caught hold of
the side of the skif. and clung to it!
Uncle Jake and Wash were so fright
ened at this that they did not even try
to push him off. and he slowly raised
himself out of the water, and with a
great effort crawled into the sl1iff and
lay down quite tired out The men
were so scared they dared not move,
and they did not say word more
about which should have their find.
In fact, they were so frightened they
could not speak.
Suddenly the lion looked at Uncle
Jake and opened wide his mouth; it
was filled with great white teeth. Uncle
Jake had heard about lions, and he
thought the beast was going to give
roar and then spring upon him and eat
him up. And he threw up his arms
and began to howl. He would have
jumped into the river only he could
not swim.
But the lion was only gaping. and
after he got through he fell sound
asleep in the bottom of the boat
Then Wash took courage, and taking
up his oars rowed with all his might
towards the land. And as soon as the
skiff reached the bank they jumped
out and ran as fast as their feet could
carry them.
A policeman who was near by took
the sleeping lion in charge. He was
chained and fed and kept at Carroll
town, few miles above New Orleans,
till he was claimed by his owners.
Many people went to see him, and
among them were Uncle Jake and
Wash, who Dragged a good deal
about their catching him!
He belonged to q travelling circus
which had gone up the river three days
before in steamboat The steam boat
had caught fire and burned, and the
lion had escaped. He must have been
very tired and glad to get into the boat,
and that is the reason, proba bly,, that
he did not eat up Uncle Jake and
Wash. Our Little Men and Women. j,
